Northern Lights

Top tips when booking a Northern Lights Holidays

1. Head to Arctic Scandinavia: It's the best place to view the Northern Lights. While it's impossible to guarantee a sighting, heading out under a cloudless sky as far from sources of light as possible will maximise your chances, which is why Exodus Northern Lights holidays take you to the more remote locations – a big advantage over quick city breaks. Join us in a frozen wilderness for your best chance to witness the greatest light show on Earth; we have trips in Finland, Norway and Sweden, as well as Greenland. 

2. Photographing them can be tricky: If all you have is a small point-and-shoot camera, the best photos you'll get will be the dark of the night sky with an extremely faint green glow on the horizon. For that National Geographic-esque shot to boast about when you return from your Northern Lights holiday, you'll need a good-quality digital SLR, preferably with a wide-angle lens. And a sturdy tripod and a remote shutter release are essential due to the long exposure time required.  

3). Pick a Northern Lights holiday with plenty of daytime activities: From a mixed-activity week in the Finnish wilderness of Oulanka National Park, to trips that focus exclusively on dogsledding or snowshoeing, we've a whole range of options.

How long are your Northern Lights holidays?

Our Northern Lights holidays range from four to eight days, offering you a wide range of options. Our four days in Finland encompass one night in a wilderness cabin, allowing you to get up-close and personal with nature or, if you’re seeking a longer trip, our eight days in Lapland give you the chance to learn about the Sami culture as well as trying your hand at dogsledding and snowshoeing.

Are your Northern Lights holidays guided?

Yes, all our trips come with the services of one of our expert leaders included. Not only will they show you the best place to see the Northern Lights, but they’ll be able to give you a unique insight into the local culture, educating you on the region’s history, tradition and customs as well as pointing out some of the spectacular wildlife and best spots for that perfect photograph.
